1st Fairtrade NAPP Youth Convention, held in Indonesia
Fostering the Next Generation Leaders across Asia Pacific. This film is funded by the European Union
Agriculture, a vital source of employment in rural areas, presents challenges for the new generation of young leaders. Recognizing this, Fairtrade Network of Asia Pacific Producers (NAPP) and Fairtrade International organized the '1st NAPP Regional Youth Convention' to promote youth inclusion and participation in Fairtrade-certified producer organizations. Supported by the European Commission's Framework Partnership Agreement Project, the convention brought together over 40 young Fairtrade leaders representing eight countries and seven major agricultural products from the Asia-Pacific region. The convention served as an empowering platform for young leaders to share experiences, gain inspiration from experts, and acquire new knowledge and skills that can be applied in their local communities for empowerment and development. By involving young leaders, the regions strive for a sustainable and inclusive future led by the next generation through regional initiatives. Together, let's continue supporting and empowering young leaders, recognizing their voices, and providing them with the necessary resources and opportunities for a sustainable future for all!
